Erewash Musical Society’s “AIDA” - After EMS’ sell-out production of Made in
Dagenham, they are proud to present Elton John & Tim Rice’s award-winning musical,
AIDA, a premiere for Long Eaton theatre audiences. EMS pride themselves on bringing
innovative musicals to local audiences and Aida is one such musical experience. Based
on the Verdi opera, this is a timeless love story with an award-winning musical score,
featuring rock music and powerful ballads.The story begins in the Egyptian wing of a
museum, where a man & woman’s eyes meet, whilst admiring the statuary and other
exhibits. The statue of Amneris, a female Pharaoh, appears to come to life and, in their
minds, the couple are transported back to ancient Egypt to the banks of the Nile. There,
an enslaved Nubian princess, Aida, becomes romantically involved with her Egyptian
army captor, Radames, who is already betrothed to the Pharaoh’s daughter. As this
forbidden love grows deeper, Aida is forced to choose between her heart’s yearning
for Radames and her responsibility to her people. However, is the story just in the
couple’s imagination or did it really happen in the ancient world?This musical dance
spectacular and part rock concert is an epic tale about the power and timelessness of
love.Performances are at the Duchess Theatre from Tuesday 5th – Saturday 9th March
2019 at 7.30pm with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm, with concessions on Tuesday &
Saturday matinee. Tickets are available from www.erewashmusicalsociety.co.uk,
0115 882 3884, or the Duchess Theatre website.

Cut each onion into approx eight wedges.
Roughly chop the carrots and cut the potatoes
into large chunks. Put the kettle on.
Heat a large non-stick pan, add the mince &
fry quickly, stirring all the time, until evenly
browned. Crumble in the stock cubes & mix
well. Add the prepared vegetables, stir them
around, then pour in 900ml/1Â˝ pints of hot
water from the kettle. Bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 25-30
minutes, until the veg are tender.
Stir in the baked beans and a generous splash
of Worcestershire sauce and heat through.
Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary
(and more Worcestershire sauce if needed)
Scatter over the top with parsley, then pour
the hotpot into bowls. Put the Worcestershire
sauce bottle on the table in case anyone
fancies even a bit more of this spice.
Serve with French or crusty bread.

If you have a couple of apples/pears that are turning, chop them into wedge shapes,
arrange them in a ovenproof dish lined with butter and layer with any dried fruit or
frozen berries you have, as well as some lemon juice and honey if you have any. Cover
and put them in the oven on a low heat before you start cooking your dinner, then by
the time you've finished and done the washing up you'll be able to enjoy delicious hot
apples. Even yummier served with vanilla ice cream.
Freezing bacon
Buy a big packet of bacon and freeze each rasher between a layer of grease proof paper
inside a freezer bag. The greaseproof paper lets you easily peel off individual rashers
meaning you can remove exactly as much as you need. The frozen bacon rashers can
also be trimmed of fat much more easily, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even need to be defrosted before
going in the microwave or on the grill.Just make sure they are cooked through before
serving.

Santa Delivers £160,000 Funding For A
New Play Area In Stapleford.

management company FCC Environment
through the Landfill Communities Fund.

Last month, Christmas came early for
residents in Stapleford thanks to £160,000
funding for a refurbished play area and
multi-use games area at Hickings Lane
Recreation Ground.
Children and young people in the town
are set to get the new, state of the art
facilities thanks to £93,000 from WREN’s
FCC Community Action Fund, along
with a further £67,000 from Broxtowe

Chair of the Leisure and Environment
Committee, Councillor Shane Easom
said: “This is the most ambitious project
in our Pride in Parks scheme so far and
everyone at the Council is very excited
about starting work in the new year, once
ground conditions are suitable. I hope
local residents in Stapleford will be looking
forward to seeing the finished facilities
once they are completed.”
The application for funding was
made working closely with Stapleford
Town Football Club who are one of
the main users of the park and The
Stapleford Community Group. The two
organisations helped with the community
consultation which helped identify
the need for a replacement Multi Use

Local Air Ambulance Charity receives generous donations of brand new tights.
The Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance has received a generous donation of 7,000
brand-new pairs of tights from an international hosiery company.
The black opaque women’s tights, which were kindly gifted by the Golden Lady,
are currently on sale at the Charity’s retail shops to help raise vital funds for the
local Air Ambulance.
Dawn Marson, who is based at the Golden Lady’s Head Office in Nottingham,
arranged the generous donation to the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance. She said:
“We were delighted to be asked to help a worthy local charity.We wish the Lincs
& Notts Air Ambulance well with the sales of the tights and hope it helps to save
more lives.”
The crew at Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance are called out to around 1,000
emergencies each year, with each mission costing approximately £2,500.
The Charity will benefit from money raised by selling these tights, which are
currently on sale for £1 a pack.
Sally Thomas, Head of Retail at the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, said:
“We often receive a whole host of large clothing donations, but nothing quite on
this scale! With thanks to the generosity
of staff at Golden Lady, we could
potentially raise an incredible £7,000
through the sale of these tights, which will
help us to keep our life-saving helicopter
flying in the skies.
“We are extremely grateful for every
donation that we receive. As a charity we
receive no direct Government funding, so
every penny really does make a difference
and helps us to save even more lives every
single day of the year.”
The tights are available from the
Charity’s ten retail shops across
Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire. You
can find out where your nearest Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance Charity shop is

Did You Know?
If everyone in the UK recycled one aluminium deodorant aerosol,
enough energy would be saved to run a TV in over 151,000 homes for
a year!
To save some pennies when in the supermarket, choose the pick up
loose items, instead of pre-packaged or pre-cut. There’s a very good
reason that convenient, pre-cut and pre-packaged items cost a little more: someone
(or something) had to prep them and package them for your benefit. Save yourself a
little here and there and select the loose fruit and vegetables,
or those that are not already pre-cut. Remember this at the
deli counter, where the selection of processed meats will be
a lot cheaper than those conveniently packaged in the

other aisles.In general, stir-fry mixes or similar (and
even pre-washed packages of mixed salads etc.), will all
have required preparation, making it cheaper to simply
buy the items individually. Saves on packaging too.

Skype etc. With over 9 million adults who have never made use of the internet, Silver
Surfers is designed to provide secure access and a simple introduction to the world
of IT for older adults within the local community. Based around a café environment
drop-in centre, individuals are encouraged to learn and support one another through
one-on-one training and mentoring.
When and where do we meet?
Thursday afternoons between 1:00pm and 3:00pm in the St Michael and AllAngels
Parish Church - Bramcote, Church Centre.There is a small weekly charge of £3.00 to
cover the cost of refreshments, helpful books and magazines, and the provision of the
necessary technical facilities. Each individual who attends will be provided with a
detailed workbook, and encouraged to maintain a personal progress log. Silver Surfers
is led by Sandra Read, Anne Curnock and Ros Colville.They can be contacted via the
Church Office on (0115) 943 0137.

JESS GLYNNE
Jess Glynne announces a handful of outdoor
racecourse shows for 2019!
Following the release of her brand new album ‘
Always In Between’, featuring the hits ‘I’ll Be There’
and ‘Thursday’, the first outdoor show kicks off at
Doncaster Racecourse taking place on Saturday
18th May, where the Summer will see Jess playing
the racecourse grounds including Lingfield Park
Resort in Surrey, finishing off at Wolverhampton –
Racecourse on Saturday 31st August.
‘I always used to think that you’re nobody until somebody loves you,’ says Jess
Glynne, singer, star, voice of the street. In her first few years in the music industry,
Jess has carved out a unique slot all of her own. Where others were contemplating the
aftermath of heartache, she was always about standing on your own two feet. At the
start of 2018, she took a listen back to her just completed second album, Always in
Between. Like her blockbuster debut, I Cry When I Laugh, Jess brokers the hinterlands
between pop, soul, R&B and house music on it. ‘Now I know that you have to be that
person for yourself.’ She smiles as she says it. ‘It’s been a right old journey getting here,
I can tell you.’
When she looks at the statistics that have marked her sky-rocketing career so far, there
is a look of mild disbelief on the face of Jess Glynne, as if this might have happened
to someone else. I Cry When I Laugh is one of the defining British pop records of
its era. At the time of writing it has been a chart staple for 138 weeks. It debuted at
number one, spawning 12million worldwide singles sales, 39 weeks on the UK top 10,
2.5billion Spotify streams, a sold out UK arena tour, Brit, MTV: EMA, Ivor Novello,
MOBO, Q and Glamour award nominations.
For an action packed day out, why not celebrate a day of racing with friends and
family, before dancing the night away with the delights of the fabulous Jess Glynne in
concert finishing off a perfect Summer’s evening. This is a gig not to be missed…
Jess Glynne promises to play all the hits and fan favourites including ‘Hold My Hand’,
‘Thursday’, ‘Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself ’, ‘I’ll Be There’ and ‘Take Me Home’, plus
some brand new tracks too.

Traffic restrictions on Humber Road
will stop vehicles blocking Beeston
cycle route.
As part of plans to widen the existing
pavement to make room for a new shared
use cycle / footway along the south
west side of Humber Road in Beeston,
Nottinghamshire County Council has
given the go-ahead for double yellow lines
to be installed.
The ‘No Waiting At Any Time’ restrictions
approved by its Communities and Place
Committee will be installed along the
south-west side of Humber Road between
its junctions with Queens Road East
and Queens Drive between the existing
double yellow lines.
Committee chairman Councillor John
Cottee said: “We feel that the advantages
offered by the new cycle routes outweigh
any concerns about loss of parking in the
Humber Road area.
“Widening of the existing pavement will
ensure that the new shared-use pavement
will be wide enough to safely accommodate
both pedestrians and two-way cycle traffic.”
At times, the pavement is partially
obstructed by vehicles, some of which
are commercial vans and lorries, halfparked on the pavement and half on the
carriageway.
“These restrictions will ensure that vehicles
are not parked on both sides of Humber
Road as this would prevent two-way traffic
flow of vehicles along the road and thereby
restrict the amount traffic which can
move freely down the road,” added Coun.
Cottee.

44

An assessment of Humber Road indicated
that sufficient parking exists on the road
to accommodate any displaced vehicles,
so no significant impact is anticipated
with parking on other streets in the
vicinity.
Extensive public consultation took place
in 2017 regarding planned improvements
to cycle links from the Enterprise Zone to
Beeston town centre.
Following money secured by the city
council for the Enterprise Zone which
is located in both city and county areas,
both councils worked in partnership,
and with the Nottinghamshire Cycling
Development Group, Highways England
and the police to develop a package of
improvements to help people access
the Enterprise Zone. This partnership
working resulted in the development of
nearly £1m of improvements to cycle
routes in the county.
These will join up proposals in the city
aimed at creating continuous cycle routes
across council boundaries giving people
access to job opportunities that t the
Enterprise Zone will deliver.
Councillor Cottee explained: “We intend
to provide high quality new and upgraded
cycle routes, connected with the city,
to improve access to job opportunities
provided by the Enterprise Zone and
increase cycling levels from 3% to 10% by
2025.
“Increasing levels of sustainable transport
use will improve health, cut congestion
and emissions and provide better access
to employment and learning sites.”The no
waiting restrictions will be implemented
via a related traffic regulation order.

Some famous people born in Nottingham.
William Brewster 1566 -1644
One of the leading Pilgrim Fathers,
Brewster was instrumental in establishing
the small Separatist church with Richard
Clyfton. Fearing persecution and
prosecution, Brewster and the others
from Nottinghamshire fled the country in
autumn 1607. They reached Amsterdam
in spring 1608 and moved on to Leiden,
Holland in 1609 where Brewster became
the church's Elder. In 1620 Brewster and
his family also left on the Mayflower to
the US.
Erasmus Darwin 1731-1802
The grandfather of Charles Darwin,
Erasmus Darwin was born in Elston near
Nottingham. He was one of the leading
intellectuals of 18th century England. He
was a respected physician, a well known
poet, philosopher, botanist, and naturalist.
Richard Parkes Bonington 1802-1828
Richard Parks Bonington was a fine arts
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;romanticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; painter who sadly died at the
age of 26. Born in Arnold, he spent his
early years in the city of Nottingham.
His family moved to Calais, France
when he was 15 and he started painting
water colour coastal scenes. The Wallace
Collection holds many of his pictures,
representing his major areas of interest,
ranging from richly costumed historical
scenes to views in France and northern
Italy. A few paintings are displayed in the
Castle Museum and The School of Art
in Nottingham has a statue of him in the
grounds which was donated by Watson
Fothergill.

50

Watson Fothergill 1841-1928
Fothergill Watson who later changed his
name to Watson Fothergill was born in
Mansfield in 1841 he became was one of
the leading local architects practicing in
the Nottingham area from about 1870
to 1906. During these thirty or so years
he designed over a hundred buildings
including houses, banks, churches, shops
and warehouses; many of which still
survive today. He
worked in the
Gothic revival
and Old English
vernacular styles;
very popular in
the Victorian
times. These
styles were
loosely based
on medieval
churches and
castles, and 16th & 17th century tudor
buildings.. Fothergill designed many
buildings in Nottingham, including
perhaps 30 private
houses in The Park
Estate. However he
worked outside of the
town and completed
works in Mansfield,
Retford, Burton Joyce
and Bulcote, and
Sydenham in Kent.
Fothergillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife died in 1922, and in 1926
he tripped and fell in his drawing room.
He never recovered his full health and
later died in 1928. He died at the age of
87 and is buried in the Church Cemetery,
Mansfield Road, Nottingham.

Care and Support at Home – What is Dementia? by Home Instead, Beeston.
During the Dementia Workshops we regularly organise we talk about the definition
and types of dementia as well causes, diagnosis, symptoms, behaviours and techniques
to support those suffering from dementia. I have been contacted by a couple of
people who have not been able to attend and have asked for relevant information and
therefore over the next few articles I will try to summarise part of what we cover during
the workshops.The strict medical definition of Dementia is; “a chronic or persistent
disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease or injury and marked by
memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning”. In simple terms,
Dementia is not a specific disease. It is an overall term that describes a wide range of
symptoms associated with a decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough
to reduce a person’s ability to perform everyday activities.
There is currently at least 950,000 people living with Dementia in the UK and that
number is expected to grow above 1 million by 2025. Two thirds of people with
Dementia are women and one in six people aged 80 or over have dementia. Over
60,000 deaths a year are directly attributable to dementia and the financial cost of
dementia to the UK is £26 billion per annum. Only 605% of people suffering from
dementia that we support have received a diagnosis.
There are many types of Dementia but some are more common than others. Although
the different types may overlap, they are associated with distinct symptoms, patterns
and distinguishing microscopic brain abnormalities. The most common types (and the
% each affects within the overall dementia population) are listed below:
• Alzheimer’s disease. This is the most common type of dementia affecting around
67% and early symptoms include difficulty remembering names and recent events;
apathy and depression.
• Vascular dementia. It affects around 16% and results from brain damage caused by
multiple strokes. The symptoms overlap with Alzheimer’s disease, and memory loss
may not be as apparent.
• Mixed dementias. Around 10% of the population. Although Alzheimer’s disease
is the most common type of dementia, increasing evidence indicates that many
people with dementia have brain abnormalities associated with more than one type of
dementia.
• Lewy Body dementia. About 4% and it is characterised by physical tremors, stiffness
and visual hallucinations.
• Frontotemporal dementia. About 2%. This type of dementia begins inside the
forehead area of the brain. The typical symptoms include changes in personality and
behaviour, and difficulty with language.It is important to understand
that Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias are different for each
person. Cases can differ greatly from person to person.

ALEXANDER O‛NEAL

14TH FEBRUARY 2019 AT O2 IN OXFORD!

Securing his name in the R&B history books,
Alexander O'Neal is one of the genres most iconic
names. With chart smash 'Criticize' lighting up dance
floors across the world thirty years after its release, his
sound has transcended generations.
Working with Prince back in the early days as part of 'The Time' his journey in and out
of various band formations propelled him to be the solo artist that we best know him
for today.
American born, Alexander O'Neal has created a cult appreciation across the globe.
His back catalogue transporting his singles in to the UK and Billboard top ten’s as well
as a triple platinum selling album and ever expanding discography.
With his heart firmly in the music industry and a loyalty to the thousands that still buy
his records, O'Neal's passion to keep his sound alive is ever present.
2018 will see the release of Alexander’s first original studio album for 15 years, and fans
are in for a treat when they hear how one of the greatest voices of all time has matured
into a sensational soul and blues sound.
With the release of his hard hitting, blockbuster autobiography in early 2017, a 50 date
UK tour to celebrate 30 years of the iconic Hearsay album, it’s safe to say that fans still
can’t get enough of the man from Minneapolis!
